Champers & Canvas Retreat

Champers & Canvas Retreat

Champers and Canvas is all about taking time for yourself and letting someone else do all the work, so you can unwind and please yourself…although you just might create some inspired artwork while you are at it. If you need some fresh air, fresh veggies from the garden, relaxation and a dose of creativity, then come, find your inner child. It’s is all about relaxing, de-stressing and taking home some artwork you have created, which you can hang in your home.     I’ve made it easy…templates, instructions, paint, canvas, brushes, water…all supplied. Wine? Well WHY not? We’re not licensed, but you are free to bring your own… I’ve got plenty of glasses and great food. What’s it all about?

It’s about meeting new people or sharing the fun with your friends or work colleagues, in a non-threatening environment. It’s about being creative and relaxed, regardless of any limitations, in a stress free, easy and relaxed way, while enjoying a glass or two, eating good food and making new friends. It’s about swimming in the ocean, walking along the beach or reading a great book while enjoying the ambience. It’s about going home totally relaxed and revitalized. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about having fun. The building blocks of self-esteem, energy and productivity come from spending time creatively revitalizing….do not fear mistakes for there are none.   “To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow”   What’s included? Two night’s shared accommodation in one...
Renovating the Retreat Space

Renovating the Retreat Space

Are you wanting to facilitate or run a small retreat, workshop, art or group gathering? We have the perfect venue for you. Len & I are excited to announce that we have started renovations on the Barn. We are planning on having it up and running by the end of July. Our plans are moving forward and we are excited. Accommodation is not affected in anyway and in fact once the ‘retreat space’ is finished, the possibilities for its use are only limited by our imagination. Dorm upstairs and living downstairs for younger, adult supervised, groups Dining and relaxation area and after activity meeting space Small conference/meeting room Small Event space/gathering Art/Craft Room Needlework /Knitting Classroom Fundraising event area Half Day/Full Day workshops Cooking/Preserving School The facilities we will have available in the barn will be – Internet access for guests Wall mounted large screen TV with HDMI, USB ports and an inbuilt DVD player. Workshop/Dining Table 10-12 seater Lounge/Breakout area Shower and Toilet Tea and Coffee facilities Kitchen Heated Yoga/Pilates/Art space upstairs with a Balcony for soaking up a little sun during a break. Outdoor communal area for a touch of fresh air and sunshine in between activities. Internet access is not available at the cottages unless of course you have your own. We decided against that facility in our cottages because sometimes it is nice to be “off grid” for a while, particularly if you are wanting to relax and unwind. Having said that we realise that sometimes you just need to be able to access the internet, so we are providing that facility in the barn....
